Ginevre
Ginevre Origin and Meaning
Ginevre is a feminine name that serves as a variant of Guinevere, the legendary queen from Arthurian tales. With Celtic and Welsh origins, the name derives from 'Gwenhwyfar,' roughly translating to 'white phantom' or 'fair and smooth.' This romantic, medieval-inspired name carries associations with beauty, nobility, and the mystique of Camelot. While the traditional Guinevere has maintained modest usage, Ginevre offers a more distinctive French-influenced spelling while preserving the name's elegant sound. The name appeals to parents drawn to literary references and historical romance, though it remains quite rare. Its delicate pronunciation and rich cultural heritage make Ginevre an uncommon yet sophisticated choice for those seeking a name with both poetic beauty and legendary connections.
